DV 2011 winners from Bangladesh

again lot of people say they are unmarried though they are ....like people submit 2 DV one family and one single.....so for them they check the marital status....

Dear rony, can please explain this part clearly.........???
 
Dear Rony!
I submitted my own bank statement. Applicant may submit I-134 or his/her bank statement. Read carefully the dv-2011 instruction in bengali (Provided by US embassy, Dhaka). There it is clearly written that "Applicant have to submit affidavit of support from a US citizen or GC holder".

But it is also mentioned that applicant may submit his/her bank statement that he/she is solvent and can support him/herselt in the USA at the initial time. I calculated the money, it is not much. If you have 80,000 taka in your bank account, you may show bank statement.

Take care.

Sabrina

Immigrant Visas
General Information

Immigrant Visas (IVs) allow a citizen of another country to enter the United States to live and work there on a permanent basis. Except for Diversity Visas (DVs), all IVs are require a petition to be filed with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services http://www.uscis.gov/ through the Department of Homeland Security.

Under U.S. law, IVs are generally reserved for persons who are either close relatives of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, or who have been hired to work in jobs that the government has determined cannot be filled by U.S. citizens due to a shortage of Americans with the skills needed to perform these jobs. Most immigration to the United States is initiated by a close relative or employer who submits a petition on the applicant’s behalf in the United States.

Diversity Visas (DVs) are issues as part of a lottery program which is governed by very strict rules of entry and issuance. Applicants must be selected as part of a random drawing in order to qualify for further processing. For more information regarding DVs, please click on http://dhaka.usembassy.gov/diversity_visas.html.

For more information regarding rules and procedures, legal permanent residency, petition-based visas of all types, and forms, please visit the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website at http://www.uscis.gov/ or the Bureau of Consular Affairs website at http://travel.state.gov/.

Changes to U.S. Vaccination Requirements for U.S. Immigration

The Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) administers U.S. immigration vaccination requirements based upon the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ guidelines for recommended vaccinations for the general U.S. population. Effective December 14, 2009, the CDC published a final notice eliminating the requirement to have human papillomavirus (HPV) and zoster vaccinations.

Pursuant to the December 14, 2009 Final Notice, the following vaccines are required for individuals seeking to immigrate to the United States: Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Polio, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae Type B, Rotavirus, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Meningococcal disease, Varicella, Pneumococcal, and Influenza. All applicants are required to receive at least one dose of each age-appropriate vaccine.

Additional information concerning changes to the U.S. vaccination requirements can be found on the CDC website.


A Note Regarding Visa Availability

The issuance of family sponsored and employment based preference visas is numerically limited by Congress. Interviews for applicants in these categories are scheduled when the applicant’s priority date becomes current and visa numbers are available. However, priority dates may change, and it is possible that at the time of the interview, visa numbers may no longer be available. If visa numbers are no longer available for your visa category, your interview will proceed as scheduled, but your visa not be issued until the priority date again becomes current and new numbers are available. Applicants should check the Visa Bulletin on the Department of State’s website for up to date information on priority dates for all immigrant visa categories.

bivrat, see some applicant applied their e-dv as married one time and both as unmarried too.but he won the DV as unmarried.so in this case if investigation goes on,they will find and proove that the data given by the winner is false.in that case the visa can be refused.thats it.

i hope i'm clear to u now.

ohhh...ok...now i understand this.........very much tricky !!! But one thing is that, if anybody submit 2 or more application with same info, (doesn't matter unmarried/married BUT their picture and other info are same) then their entry will be rejected at the point of selecting the entry..........isn't it ??? Because they check (Double Entry) the entry first then they randomly select the DV winner. I think this process is true..............Please give your opinion................

Dear Rony,
You have sent many information and links. Thanks for that. But you have to keep in your mind that you are applying from Bangladesh. Besides the instructions of US stete department, you also need to follw the instructions carefully provided by US embassy of DHAKA, BANGLADESH.

I submitted my own bank statement and a photocopy of that. I did not attested by notary.
As I am a job holder, I have a bank account and I deposit my money there.

I can't understand what do you mean by "did they ask for that bank statement..."

who will ask me for bank statement? My bank statement is a part of my document and my lawyer suggested me to submit that. So, I submitted. There are many things you will not find in step 3, 4... that is a general guidance for "obtaining your civil documnets" for all countries applying of dv. But the documents vary country to country.

Please

http://search.state.gov/search?site...F-8&lr=lang_en&filter=0&q=dv-2011+instruction

download the pdf file (DV-2011 instruction) and read number 32 under frequently usked question on page 12.

Rony, are you a student? what is your interview date?

Take care.
Sabrina

Dear Kabir,
a) in my 2nd letter, KCC did'nt give me any document list and didn't say about any requirements. The
2nd letter is only an appointment letter, where written the date and time of interview.
"Applicant must appear at the interview on the schedule date with necessary documents."

b) No, I did't feel yet that somebody go for investigation at my residence address or office address.

Don't be worried. Which is in fate that must be happen.

Rony1985,
That is a great news from Bangladesh. I was a little bit getting bad thoughts about this Bangladesh consulate but now Rony's case has taken that out of my mind. This is a very good news for those to be interviewed the coming months in this consulate. I wish Rony and his wife to have all the best and all other Bengali winners to raise their heads up and go for their visas. Good luck everyone.
